Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course offers an integrated treatment of international economic law (trade, investment and finance) and the governance of the global economy.
After a historical introduction to global economic integration and its challenges, we cover the making of international economic law; market access; non-discrimination; risk and uncertainty; dispute settlement and enforcement, and leveling the playing field. The course is open to diploma students, IREWI students, Erasmus and other exchange students.
